whoa....not what I would expect for 4 stars

This hotel is well past its prime. I stayed here for only 1 of the 4 nights I was booked. The entire place is outdated. When I was there...no working restaurant or bar. Stains on an old couch. Dim lighting. The hotel staff was wonderful, its the physical space that is very poor. There are other excellent 4-star hotels within a block and I recommend those over the Orchard Garden [OG]. OG has a sister property a couple of blocks away called the Orchard, which may be better, but you'd have to read their reviews. Do yourself a favor, don't stay here!

Excellent Hotel

Beautiful hotel in great location

We stayed here for 3 nights while enjoying the city. The hotel is about 30 feet from the Chinatown gate, which makes it easy to locate on maps, etc. It is also near transportation (BART, Muni, cable cars, etc) and many restaurants. A good central location for exploring SF. The hotel was very nice, and the rooms were small but quiet and comfortable. We never ate at the hotel restaurant as it was not open during our stay.

Great Hotel conveniently located

Conveniently located to Union Square, Chinatown, the Financial District, etc..., this hotel provides excellent service and very comfortable rooms. I was on an overnight business trip, so I was not able to use everything that the hotel offers. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Worry free stay

Solid performer hotel that operates at the mid to high level range.
Rooms big enough, kept spotlessly clean and will good air con, tv and wifi
Staff pleasant and attentive without being intrusive.
Bar area a little lacking (was closed most of the time we were there) but plenty to do around the hotel so wasn't a huge problem.
One of those places that you can just book knowing it will be a stress free experience

I would suggest to anyone staying at this hotel to go to Hang Ah tea room which is just a short walk away from the hotel, it's the oldest dim sum restaurant, the owners are very nice and it is hands down one of the best dim sum around!

Wine Country layover

Much to mine and my friend's delight, our stay at Orchard Garden Hotel was wonderful. The hotel is beautiful, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was very modern, clean, crisp and comfortable. The hotel is located two doors over from the entrance to Chinatown, which was just what we were looking for, as we only had one night to spend there and then off to Napa Valley. Orchard Garden Hotel is also Green, right down to the electrical power in the room. Don't forget your room key.
